Now Shipping Worldwide!

We have constantly been getting requests from customers outside Canada and US for our products. Up until now we tried to process some of these orders manually which was time consuming for us and inconvenient for the customer. The greatest challenge was to find shipping agent that would provide fast and reliable delivery at a reasonable cost. We hope that that our collaboration with TNT Express would allow us to satisfy our customers worldwide.

Now few quick tips to successfully place and receive your order:

  • Please make sure you are ordering the right size. We would be very happy (and quick) to answer as many questions as you may have regarding our product. Send us your measurements if you need to compare sizes. Remember that sizes may vary between countries (for example European Large is barely a Medium in Canada and US) and even between brands (some are more generous, some are more fitted). It is A LOT  EASIER to help you pick the right size BEFORE you order than to go through return/exchange process if you live outside Canada or US.
  • Check carefully all the shipping and billing information, including postal code and email address. Order delivered to wrong address due to customer’s mistake may not be reimbursed.
  • Once your order is shipped we issue a tracking number that lets you check the status and whereabouts of your package. Please check this tracking number regularly in order to facilitate successful delivery. Delivery options may vary from country to country but wherever you are, best way to receive your order is to be there yourself when it arrives.

Leather Care Instructions

Leather soccer shoes are without a doubt more comfortable. The only concern we hear from our customers is about caring for leather footwear. We usually offer advice on leather care for our in-store customers, and now for our online customers or just for someone looking for leather footwear maintenance info here are some tips:

  • Large chunks of soil are best removed using a brush or cloth.
  • To dry your boots, fill them with newspaper, which is highly absorbent. Replace with new newspaper after few hours. Place the boots in a dry place. AVOID DRYING BOOTS NEAR HEATERS OR UNDER DIRECT SUNLIGHT!
  • To keep leather soft and reduce water absorption we recommend Chelsea Dubbin Leathefood
  • If available use boot tree to maintain original boot shape

Now a few DON’TS that some of you may find obvious but should be mentioned nevertheless:

  • Do not put boots in the washing machine
  • Do not leave boots in a bag or box if wet
  • Do not expose boots to direct sunlight or heat source like an oven or a radiator

Please note that over time a small gap between outsole and shank may occur. It is not a defect and will not affect your play unless it keeps expanding and causes an actual separation of the outsole.

The general rule of thumb is to clean boots after the game as soon as possible, let them dry from the inside to the outside and apply good quality leather oil or leather food EVERY TIME after boots had been cleaned and dried. These simple steps will let your boots mould to your foot while retaining it’s original shape and leather quality.

Chin-up to Italian Soccer fans!

Ok, may be some of you prefer title “Forget I was ever an Italian Team fan” today, but that would be negative.

So I stand by my title, even though today was heartbreaking and disappointing and embarrassing to some of you.

Even non-Italians learned to admire passion and devotion that Squadra Azzurri instills on their fans. If you live in Toronto or Woodbridge, you know how they support their team! Their hearts beat in unison during those 90 minutes of the game, whether they are 5 or 95 and it’s they are full of pure happiness when the team presents them with victory.  Remember home-made flags the size of a parachute? Kids driving around by 12  in every car, hanging out from every window and honking the horn until it’s busted? The ones too little to be allowed to go for these crazy drives are on every street corner, waving flags and cheering to every passing car.  Other nationalities admit that Italian soccer fans taught them how to party. No other team has fans scouting shops for official team jerseys 4-5 months prior to next World Cup in order to show their support, and pride, and commitment.

But let’s be fair, we can’t have it every time, other fans should have a chance to shout something at the top of their lungs too. We’ve already had that exhilarating moment more than most, and last time only four years ago. And four World Cup trophies is a really great reason to keep wearing that blue jersey with four stars proudly regardless of today. There will be next World Cup and there will be a party on our street again! Forza!

Leather or synthetic? Soccer shoe that is right for you.
Soccer (or “football” in European terms) shoes are generally made of leather or synthetic materials. Which is better?

Leather – Leather shoes tend to fit better and provide a better feel of the ball. They mold to the foot providing great comfort for the player. Leather also allows the foot to breathe, preventing excessive overheating and sweating. Leather shoes do absorb more water than synthetic shoes, however with proper maintenance they can last longer than synthetic shoes.  We always recommend Chelsea Leather Food, an excellent product to protect and waterproof all leather footwear.

Synthetic - Synthetic materials have come a long way since first synthetic shoes were introduced as a cheaper alternative for occasional player.  Many leading sports footwear manufacturers upgraded synthetic upper with special microfiber. This makes shoe softer and stronger while providing similar feel to a natural material.  They also are generally lighter, do not absorb water in wet conditions and require less maintenance. However synthetic upper would never mold to a player foot the way leather does. Technological advancements also made top of the line synthetic shoes climb at the same or higher price level that leather boots.

A final word of wisdom – many aspiring players become influenced by advertisement and endorsements while shopping for soccer shoes, sometimes consciously, sometimes not.  Star athletes often have boots they endorse custom-molded for them and then are paid to advertise its superb qualities. We advise our customers to base their choice on their own personal requirements for comfort and support, a strategy that would guarantee best performance and enjoyment of the game.
